Bishop Persico adds six names to initial list he released April 6. Number of those credibly accused is now at 57.

When he released a 51-name list of accused priests and laypeople on April 6, Erie Catholic Bishop Lawrence Persico described the list as a “living document” that the Diocese of Erie would update based on new information.

The first update occurred on Friday.

Persico added six names to a list after “new information came to light,” the diocese said.
